Research on the modeling and simulation of the Eight-Rotor UAV

Recently progress in sensor technology, data processing and integrated techniques has made the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) fully possible. The Eight-Rotor is a radio-controlled vehicle. It is powered by eight rotors and is capable of motion in air in six degrees of freedom. In this paper, we present the dynamic modeling of Eight-Rotor UAV from which we also developed a flight control system and performed the simulations in MATLAB before implementation on the real system.
